RecyclerView and CardView widgets for all

Android’s latest release, Lollipop (Android 5.0 API Level 21) includes the new RecyclerView and CardView widgets. They’re also made available for use on devices running API Level 7 and above through the Support Libraries.

The RecyclerView provides a more advanced and flexible way of displaying lists than the old ListView.

The CardView widget enables you to display views inside a card. You can design the card so that its look is consistent across your app.
